Ellen Page will make her directorial debut with a comedic high school drama titled Miss Stevens.

Anna Faris is attached to star as the title character, a teacher whose life is in disarray who ends up chaperoning a group of high schoolers on a weekend trip to a state drama competition. While on the trip, she rediscovers her own self-worth via the humanity of her students.

I think it is premature to do this. I mean she is young for this, she needs more experiment. She should act at these stages of his life. And at the same time, she will gain some experience and we'll see better movies directed by her including her first directorial debut.

What about people who go to film school to become directors? Then they graduate and they're 21 or 22, are they supposed to wait until they're 40 to direct a film? No of course not. No reason why a seasoned industry veteran can't move over a few chairs and direct. She may or may not be good at it, but the only way to find out is to go and do it.

I agree...
I think Ellen directing a film is a good career choice to make. She already wanted to make a show before, so wanting to direct a film isn't surprising to me. It doesn't mean she'll stop acting; it just means she's trying out something different, and she'll probably revisit directing more in the future.

I think that the things should be done for levels, Ellen Page is an actress that have 15 years of experience on her shoulders. Now, she have the right experience for direct a movie, if she will be able to do a great work, she can start a new carrier concurrently with the acting carrier. But if the results will not be good, she can continue her great career as an actress.
